                |   USA2 put the previous 
                    day’s heartbreaking loss behind them to dominate the 
                    third/fourth play-off match. The Americans defeated Poland 
                    by IMPs to take the bronze medal. Meanwhile, Denmark 
                    won the fourth session of the final by 52-35 IMPs to keep 
                    the match very much alive. Italy lead by 
                    178.67-129 IMPs with 32 boards to play but, after almost losing 
                    a 60 IMP lead in the last 16 deals of the semi-final, the 
                    Italians will be looking for a strong start on the final day 
                    to steady their nerves.
